Very sad and somber day as we hear of the passing of class of ‘16 grad Quinn Baldwin. He was a two sport ⭐️ here, making all region in basketball and football. He was one the most unselfish players Ive coached. He was so smart and extremely well liked by everyone. RIP Baldwin 😞
To go to a place like northeast NC, a place known for its basketball, as the only team from out of state was going to be tough. Challenge accepted. Champs. We did it for the entire state of SC. This state has tremendous b-ball too. Westside 72 Northwood 53

To say I’m proud would be an understatement. Down early we never flinched and played the hardest half of basketball I’ve seen in a long time. Fort mill is certainly as advertised. There’s a reason they were 13-1. Great game to be apart of. Another championship game tomorrow!

Got several texts from former players this week saying how proud they are of us this year. Making former players proud to come watch us play is literally one of the best things a coach & current players can accomplish. Its why we also say play for the name on the front.
